CCSE questions on History and heritage

✓ En Córdoba

The Mezquita-Catedral is in Córdoba, in Andalucía. Building began in the year 785, when the city was the capital of the emirate of Al-Ándalus, which later became a caliphate. Later it became a Christian cathedral. It has been a World Heritage Site since 1984 and stands out for its arches with red and white stripes. In Santiago de Compostela there is a cathedral, not a mosque.

✓ En Granada

The Alhambra is in Granada, on a hill with views of Sierra Nevada. It was the palace and fortress of the Nasrid kings, the last Muslim dynasty on the peninsula, and it has been a World Heritage Site since 1984. It is one of the most visited monuments in Spain. In Sevilla there are the Giralda and the Real Alcázar, and in Córdoba the Mezquita. Remember: Alhambra equals Granada.

✓ Por defender el voto de las mujeres

Clara Campoamor was a Spanish politician and lawyer who defended women's right to vote during the Segunda República. Thanks to her, women voted for the first time in Spain in 1933. She was an important figure in the fight for equality. She was not an opera singer or a film director. Remember: Campoamor equals women's vote.
